HUNG DANCE has swiftly established itself as one of the most dynamic and visually stunning contemporary dance companies worldwide, with over 300 performances across five continents. 🌍 Their captivating performances showcase a distinctive physical language, melding tradition and innovation into a beautiful artistic expression.

BIRDY, one of the company’s most acclaimed works, epitomizes this unique style. This performance fuses contemporary movement with influences from Peking Opera, mythology, and Tai Chi. The result? A visually striking and emotionally rich experience that delves into themes of freedom, transformation, and the profound connection between the human spirit and nature. 🕊️🌿

The name BIRDY comes from the character “Hung (翃),” which means to soar. HUNG DANCE stays true to its founding vision by crafting work that is deeply rooted in cultural heritage while also reaching out globally. 🌐 Under the visionary guidance of LAI HUNG-CHUNG, the company has developed a distinctive choreographic vocabulary and a training system that unites the past with the present, encouraging audiences to engage with dance as both a physical and philosophical journey.
